- Do you have or are you thinking of installing a large bath or spa bath?
- Do you have space for a hot water unit?

You may have heard the term “off peak” when referring to a hot water system. An “off peak” electric hot water system offers lower electricity costs, as the hot water is only available during particular times of the day an example being between 10pm -6am the following morning. This time is the general “off-peak” period that Canberra’s energy provider supplies electricity for the cheaper rate. Our tradesman provide this option when installing a new hot water system.
